Complete rewrite of the artist image pipeline:
STORAGE:
- Migration 16: artist_images table tracking source, URL, path,
primary flag, dimensions per image (up to 10 per artist)
- Directory structure: artist-images/{mbid[:2]}/{mbid}/ with
primary.jpg + primary_sm.jpg/_md.jpg/_lg.jpg thumbnails
- Miss marker (.miss file) prevents re-fetching artists with no image
SOURCES (priority order):
1. MusicBrainz direct image relations (Wikimedia Commons)
2. Wikidata P18 property (Wikimedia Commons)
3. Wikipedia lead image (NEW — via Wikidata sitelinks → Wikipedia API)
Each source is checked, deduplicated, and the first available
image becomes the primary with sm/md/lg thumbnail generation
(100px/200px/400px, matching cover art tier sizes).
ASSET SERVING:
- /artist-images/ path registered with Wails asset handler
- Serves files via http.FileServer from the artist-images directory
- Same pattern as /covers/ for cover art
ARTIST MODEL:
- Artist struct gains ImageSmall/ImageMedium/ImageLarge fields
- resolveArtistImages does bulk MBID lookup → disk stat for each
- Populated in GetAllArtists and GetAllArtistsByLibrary
GRID VIEW:
- artists-view uses model URLs directly (no more base64 data URLs)
- Size selection based on imageSize * devicePixelRatio (like cover-grid)
- Removed batch GetArtistImages call and in-memory cache — no longer needed
YellowJacket
Music how it was meant to bee.
YellowJacket is a cross-platform desktop music player built with Go and web technologies. It focuses on local music library management with a clean, responsive interface.

- Shuffle mode (Fisher-Yates) and repeat modes (off, all, one)
- Session persistence -- resumes volume, track, and seek position on restart
Library
- Concurrent library scanning with automatic metadata extraction
- ID3v2, Vorbis Comments, and other tag format support
- Embedded cover art extraction with content-hash deduplication
- Incremental sync -- only processes new or changed files
- Orphan cleanup for deleted files
Interface
- Album cover grid view and track list view
- Now playing display with cover art
- Resizable sidebar navigation
- Slide-out queue panel
- Context menus for tracks and albums (play, add to queue, play next)
- Settings page for library directory configuration
Architecture
YellowJacket uses the Wails v2 framework to bridge a Go backend with a TypeScript/Lit frontend running in a native webview.
- Go backend -- audio decoding and playback (beep), library scanning, SQLite database, cover art serving, TOML configuration
- TypeScript frontend -- Lit web components, singleton stores with reactive controllers, Web Awesome UI components
- Communication -- bidirectional event system via Wails runtime; backend is the source of truth
- Database -- SQLite (pure-Go driver) with type-safe queries generated by sqlc; MusicBrainz-style data model (artists, artist credits, recordings, release groups)
- Config page -- HTMX-based, loads HTML fragments rendered by Go templ templates
Development

On macOS and Windows, no additional system dependencies are needed. Run wails doctor to verify your environment.
Build & Run
make setup # Install git hooks (lefthook)
make dev # Development with hot-reload
make build-dev # Debug build
make build-prod # Production build (obfuscated + UPX compressed)
make generate # Run code generators (sqlc, templ)
Testing
make test # All tests (race detector, no cache, 2min timeout)
# Run tests manually (build tag required):
go test -tags webkit2_41 ./backend/player/ # Single package
go test -tags webkit2_41 -run TestFunctionName ./backend/player/ # Single test
go test -tags webkit2_41 -v -run TestFunctionName ./backend/player/ # Verbose
Linting
make lint # golangci-lint (v2 config, strict rules)
